More evidence to support my theory that 1978 was the worst year for Clash togs.

Joe's white suit and mohawk was puke-inducing. And don't even get me started on Paul's leather trousers and snood.

Someone posted this on Facebook, a rare pic from this era...

LOVE the style in this photo, Mick looks sharp as hell.
totally agree - love this era Mick - also see Marky's photo on his CD for Tucson (both Joe and Mick look great)
What, you are being sincere? He looks like a dorky engineer.

Hey Marky, I assumed the 83 boots you posted had photos from Combat Rock tour. Can you confirm if those pics are from 82 or 83?

Yes actually - I thought Flex was being sincere too?? Anyways, I sort of see your point but quite like it nonetheless.

I was being sincere. I think the belt is a nice touch too. Mick is better off leaning into the dorky engineer look than some of his other fashion iterations, imho.

Some on here have cited 1982 as a worse year sartorially.

I quite liked in 1986 spy look, but in general, yeah. I can't even bring myself to think about the Megatop Phoenix cover.

The belt is the only mildly edgy thing.

Wear a full button down shirt for god's sake.

Short sleeved collared shirt is about as wrong for a rocker as shorts.

Eh, not necessarily. That 60s/70s skinhead look is sharp as hell - probably about as good as fashion subculture has ever got, imho. Doesn't get much more rock n roll than a fred perry polo, imho.

You rang? Seriously guys just stick to making good music and releasing records with no chairs on the cover.
